you could race 200mph for 15 years on the world stage and loose yer life training on a bicycle too
as i see it its a cultural deal big time in ireland you cant stop it who will stop it ? let them carry on look at the amount of miles at high speed add them up every year its safe as can be and thats enough
in 82 when my close friend jon woo was killed at laguna the old turn 2 testing for hrc,a private test
man,woo could ride, he was a total natural on his way to be world champion hrc utl gettl they were itching to give him factory iron
tragcally horribly fucked it wes
at tests end they were going to flag him in, his young wife said let ride some more he is having so much fun he was a.lone on the track i asked the honda boys at johns service but nobody even saw the point of traction loss but it was the front had to be
man it was aweful for her for everybody woo was totally livin the dream on his way up just lit the rocket
everybody loved jon woo something like hayden just the best guy you could know
we used to race mx and pit together stumble outta the van in a cloud of smoke ,"man we have another moto" bultacos were the shit for us pomeroy replicas i had a 360 woo a 250
then he got a kz1000 i had my kz900 and we went up feather river canyon
i tole im,man thats was the scariest shity i have ever done, thats too fast, man,go do the road racing ,but ,you need to keep it at the track
in 82 there were other seroius injuries bruce hammer paralyzed
everybody got together and formed the jon woo memorial safety project they told the promotoers to fix the glaring danger shit that does not belong on a closed course purpose built race track
and it worked laguna they knocked back the dirt weal, that was a too close then they made it longer and much safer a few years later thanks to kenny roberts ,kenny got the gp's,see, with the new layout fim leagal in length
the usa tracks are still stoneage comparted to a tilken f1 track but way betterr i mean you gotta at least have decent runoff on a high speed turn on a race track ,no reason not too
however ROAD RACING its not the same thing ,real road racing is just that
but even motogp the tracks are now designed with so much for the rider to avoid the big stop but it still happens lois salom just a year ago they deamed it to little runoff
but shit look at jack millers yardsale he just had boom he was on the wall
we can only do so much closed circuits ,racing tracks do need to be designed with all thoughts of removing unsafe shit
woo would have been multiple world champion if not for an dirt enmbankment and a "funny" new to him 16" front tar
but the days of danger tracks are no more,but racers on roads are a freak of racing let em be
woo used to say with a huge grin
nickerson it's soooo bitchen
